Hi, I have a new hard disk which I would like to run DBAN on.
What I want to know is how to sort out physical/logical bad sectors before I run DBAN so I can make sure all sectors are overwritten.
Also, if I run DBAN, and it doesnt encounter any errors, does that mean there is no physical/logical bad sectors on the drive, or does it just mean the HDD has remapped the bad sectors and replaced them with good ones?
If so, how does one go about erasing these bad sectors?
thanks.
